Radisson Hospitality, part of Radisson Hotel Group, has signed deals to open two hotels in Saudi Arabia: the Radisson Blu Hotel, Riyadh Al Qurtuba and the Radisson Hotel, Qurayat.
Both hotels are scheduled to open in 2020.
The signings take the group’s portfolio in Saudi Arabia to 41 hotels and more than 10,000 rooms both open and under development.
“Saudi Arabia remains a key market for the group and we continue to execute our strategy, developing quality hotels not only in the commercial hubs of Riyadh and Jeddah and the Holy City of Makkah, but also in second-tier cities where we’re supporting the needs of business and leisure travelers,” said Elie Younes, EVP/CDO at Radisson Hotel Group, in a statement. “Our upper-upscale Radisson Blu brand is well established across the Kingdom, with 25 Radisson Blu hotels and more than 5,300 rooms in operation and under development.
